BOURNE — A Falmouth woman was arrested Saturday for allegedly hitting an acquaintance with her car in the parking lot of a local liquor store Friday night, the police said.

At about 9:45 p.m. Friday, the police responded to the parking lot of Seaside Wine & Spirits on Barlows Landing Road in Pocasset in response to a report that someone had been hit by a car, according to Bourne police Officer James Czyrca.

The woman who was hit suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital by Bourne emergency workers, Czyrca said.

Bourne police arrested Amber Scanlan of Falmouth Saturday on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the incident. No age for Scanlan was given.

The police allege that Scanlan, who reportedly knows the injured woman, saw her walking through the parking lot of the liquor store and hit her with her car. "It was part of a dispute," Czyrca said.

Scanlan was being held at the Barnstable County Correctional Facility Saturday.
